Bill overview
The School Modernization and Efficient Access to Lunches for Students Act of 2023 aims to improve the efficiency of school meal programs by expanding the use of direct certification. It provides grants and technical assistance to states and tribal organizations to increase the percentage of eligible students who receive free school meals through direct certification. The bill also extends the timeframe for schools to utilize the Community Eligibility Provision and addresses performance monitoring for states struggling to meet direct certification goals. Finally, it enhances the process for tribes participating in the food distribution program on Indian reservations.
